ASUS AISuiteII v2.01.01

ASUS AISuiteII v2.01.01
I’ve had the ASUS AISuiteII v2.01.01 since I first installed everything on my new computer in March of 2013 and all has worked well. Seems like all is STILL working well other than the following caveat below.
MB= P8Z77-V-Pro BIOS v.1805 ( ASUS ), CPU= i7-3770, OS= Win 7 Pro x64 sp1.
All has been working well until earlier this week when an AI icon showed up on the taskbar at bootup. When I brought up task manager, it showed that AISuite wasn’t responding. So I ran an administrative cmd for Chkdsk /f and rebooted. After chkdsk ran, it booted fine with no AI icon in the taskbar.Task Bar AI.JPGAI task mngr.JPG
This morning it was there at bootup again ( I shutdown my computer every night ) so I rebooted with chkdsk /f again but this time it didn’t change anything, the AI icon was still there. Next I ran sfc /scannow as administrator and it found nothing. Next I googled the problem and found nothing relating to this particular problem. Next I looked in the event logs and the only thing I could find was this ( not to say that I could have missed something ):

Next I went to ASUS support site for this MB and downloaded the zip file for ASUS AISuiteII v2.01.01
So I guess my question now is, can I just reinstall the file over the old one or do I need to uninstall the old one first and reboot and install the new one.
Obviously something has changed with the suite, anyone have any suggestions other than reinstallation?
Thanks for any help.

Sudo15:
Actually the restore points are a new mystery for me. As you suggested, I looked at restoring to an earlier time and the first/latest 2 restore points are Windows Update (critical). The latest is 3/05/15 and the other one is 3/01/2015.
The funny thing is that neither of them are listed in installed updates OR update history and the last time I checked for updates was on 3/01/15 ( as per WU window ) to see if there were any optional updates. WU is set to NEVER check for updates because I do them manually. I just checked and it's still set that way so I'm wondering where those 2 updates came from.
If I restore, I will need to go back to 2/26/15 where I made a restore point before doing the weather gadget fix in another thread, using the Config.xml file.
Since the icon isn't hurting anything that I can tell as of yet, I think I'll wait before doing anything for more input.

On rethinking this I probably should restore back to 2/26/15. Since I have 2 unknown updates in restore, maybe I'll find out what they are.
Thanks for responding to the post Sudo15. I'll post back after trying restore.

Did you check to see if the program had a Change/Repair option in Programs and Features ?

No

Interestingly enough, when I booted up this morning the icon was gone so I haven't done a system restore or check for Change/Repair.
Now I'm wondering if it was all tied to that log I found " Name resolution for the name dlcdnet.asus.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded. ". It's possible that it is caused by the ASUS website going down randomly. I certainly hope that's all that it is.
I guess I better leave it alone for now and see what happens.
Thanks again Sudo15 as I hadn't thought of going to system restore.

I've just tried to do a ping on dlcdnet.asus.com and got a Timed Out, also for its IP address of 92.242.132.16 but that isn't unusual as some sites don't allow you to ping them to prevent a Denial of Service and only the program is allowed to phone home.
